Even tho they serve no function whatsoever, I love the fake can look especially when it slips over the barrel.

Just get a bull barrel and machine it to look like a can. Thats the only way i could see a fake can as being useful. Otherwise, its just pointless and an uninformed cop might screw you for it, even with my idea... So dont even use my idea... They are just ridiculous...

If you have a fake can on your rifle you probably like spinning wheels on you car, or lime green paint jobs, and you probably play combat video games....

It might not be your thing, but combat video games are enjoyable. Not everyone playing them is a 14-year old screaming racial slurs into a headset. However it's a documented fact that spinning rims are retarded :D

Of course... I heard some of those midwest folks really like their cows so... :(

I think you mean "tits on a bull." They're pretty necessary on a cow.

I'd put one on a .22lr upper but not anything else. I don't think that is a fake can in OPs picture, unless I'm wrong. Looks real. I couldn't find a fake can with the qd collar online.

I like fake cans, I just wish they were quieter.

Ops rifle looks like a MK18 CQBR clone. I don't think adding a fake can is dumb if it's for clone purposes. However, I wouldn't want one permanently attached to any rifle of mine.

If CA ever allows us to own suppressors, I'd definitely want a few real ones.

I only like fake cans if they add length to the meet the law, or to cover a longer " pencil " barrel , like on the UZI / MP5 and other carbines that have a 16'' barrel.

How about a barrel shroud? What's the consensus on those? I have a Sig 556 Classic Patrol with shorter Swiss hand guards. The 16" barrel protrudes quite extensively out and looks pencil thin.

Cans look great on a rifle! And I like fake cans only because real ones aren't allowed in CA. But then again, to each his own.
